Can't see the vid at work, but I'm gonna guess it's a fake...sounds like something out of an old Abbott and Costello bit.

@2 This isn't a damn forum.
Quit referencing other posters, and making drama.
I hate you.

Angel - I am developing a theory that they are, infact, the same person.
But if that is wrong, and they do manage to wrap themselves around a pole like this, think the Large Hadron Particle Accelerator all over again. But this time, it really will be the end of the world.

FAKE!!!!
his is a complete photoshop job. You can tel its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scne in the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja move to a town where all the wives are perfect and the husbands are perfectly happy. Max investigates and finds out this is all the work of Cruella De Ville who is building a robot army.

18. Smeggit - January 29, 2009 10:33 PM
As a Kiwi I can confirm this is real, it's in all the major news papers.
19. Barack Ubuntu - January 29, 2009 11:02 PM
# 19 needs a hug too. However, not like the guys in the video did it.

26. Cameron - January 30, 2009 12:28 AM
gizmoduck - Maybe you should contact Captain Falcon for that falcon punch.
I hear that during a Falcon Punch, the potential energy between his fist and your face is infinity.
27. Indie9999 - January 30, 2009 3:46 AM
I hate all of you, your all a bunch of vicious bitter bastards.

@31: I got disgustingly long arms and stretchy neck. Separated at birth?
33. JFreezy - January 30, 2009 11:53 AM
@8,
Are you just angry that your father and brother were caught on video looking like dumb asses and everyone is making fun of them? Don't cry little one. Go snuggle with your stuffed Pikachu and finish watching The Little Mermaid.
